New Listings in the National Register

The Keeper of the National Register, National Park Service, recently approved the listing of the following properties in the National Register of Historic Places.

LAS ANIMAS COUNTY

AULTMAN HOUSE
711 Colorado Ave., Trinidad

Oliver E. Aultman commissioned the construction of this house for his family in 1905. A highly successful commercial photographer, Aultman documented life and culture in southern Colorado from the 1890s to the 1950s. His portraits reflect the extraordinary ethnic and socio-economic diversity of the area. His studio was purportedly the oldest established studio in Colorado operated continuously by one man. This “pioneer Trinidad photographer” resided here until his death in 1953. The house is a well-preserved example of a Queen Anne residence in Trinidad. Characteristics of this style can be seen in its asymmetrical composition, steeply pitched hipped roof and wraparound porch. It has a distinctive, large, two-story tower with a conical roof.

MORGAN COUNTY

Rankin Presbyterian Church
420 Clayton St., Brush

Constructed in 1907, the church is a very good example of the Gothic Revival style. The building epitomizes the primary characteristics of this style as seen in its steeply pitched cross-gabled roof, masonry construction, stepped buttresses, crenellated square tower, pointed arch openings, and windows with label molds and tracery. The church has undergone minimal alterations; an educational wing was added to the southwest corner in 1963. (Photograph 2006)
